Super Bowl XLI: Indianapolis Colts 29 Chicago Bears 17 Peyton Manning MVP

 

Super Bowl XLI MVP Peyton Manning passed for 247 yards and 1 touchdown as the Colts won their first Super Bowl in 36 years. The Colts outgained the Bears 430-265 in total yards and maintained a 38:04-21:56 edge in time of possession.

Devin Hester opened the game with a 92-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, the first time the Super Bowl began with a touchdown.

Two possessions later, on third-and-10, Manning found Reggie Wayne wide open deep down the middle for a 53-yard touchdown.

A steady rain forced the teams to commit 4 first-quarter turnovers, and Hunter Smith mishandled the snap on the extra point, allowing the Bears to maintain a 7-6 lead. Later in the quarter, Thomas Jones’ 52-yard run set up Rex Grossman’s short touchdown pass to Muhsin Muhammad for a 14-6 lead. The Colts scored on back-to-back drives to begin the second quarter, capped by Dominic Rhodes’ 1-yard run, for a 16-14 lead.

To begin the second half, the Colts ran 7:34 off the clock with a 13-play, 56-yard drive that culminated with Adam Vinatieri’s 24- yard field goal for a 19-14 lead. The teams then exchanged field goals, and the Bears forced a punt. On first-and-10 from the Bears’ 38 with 11:59 to play, Grossman’s pass intended for Muhammad was thrown high. Kelvin Hayden intercepted the pass, maneuvered up the sideline while staying inbounds, and raced 56 yards for a touchdown. It was Hayden’s first-ever professional interception. Four plays later, Bob Sanders intercepted Grossman’s deep pass.

The Bears got the ball back twice, but never ran a play across midfield. Manning, who won the Pete Rozelle MVP award, was 25 of 38 for 247 yards and 1 touchdown, with 1 interception. Rhodes carried 21 times for 113 yards. Joseph Addai had 10 receptions for 66 yards. Grossman was 20 of 28 for 165 yards and 1 touchdown, with 2 interceptions. Jones rushed 15 times for 112 yards.

      Super Bowl XLII

    • Super Bowl XLII: One of the Greatest

      He ought to know. He’s a player in the NFL who knows its history. He’s another Manning maybe you’ve heard of -- Peyton -- and that was his summary of Super Bowl XLII last Sunday night in Glendale, Arizona:

      "One of the greatest games of all time."

      In the game, his brother, New York Giants quarterback ELI MANNING, engineered one of the most memorable late-game-winning drives in Super Bowl history for a 17-14 victory over the New England Patriots at University of Phoenix Stadium. That drive included what many are calling the greatest play in Super Bowl history.

      Road Warrior Giants Bring It Home
      Undefeated Destiny Disrupted for the 18 -1 New England Patriots

      With 2:49 left in Super Bowl XLII it seemed to be yet another perfectly scripted comeback victory for the New England Patriots as Tom Brady connected with Randy Moss for a 7-yard TD completion.  However, the Giants went off script as Eli Manning drove the Giants 83 yards for the game winning touchdown.

      Super Bowl XLII MVP Eli Manning ended the 12 play 83 yard winning drive when he found Plaxico Burress (17) in the corner of the end zone with 35 seconds to play.
